Hands up if you joined us for Imagine The Possibilities 2017 at Moama Bowling Club a few weeks ago?
Firstly – thank you! We hope you loved it.
And secondly, we’re sending you a virtual high five, because we’ve received word this week that ITP charity partner, Echuca Moama Girls Night Out will receive a huge wod of cash from the day – 5000 smackeroos to be exact!
100% of these funds will go directly to the GNO Oncology Department Supportive Care Fund at Echuca Regional Health to support those in our community fighting cancer. The GNO fund helps cover the hidden costs of treatment including counselling sessions, oncology massage, wigs, alternative therapies, lymphodeama garments, rent payments, fuel cards, acommodation, home care and child care.
ITP was founded by Moama Bowling Club in 2015, and since then has contributed a massive $20,000 to the GNO charity.
It’s an extraordinary event – not only for its support of GNO – but also for the opportunities it provides women in small rural communities like ours.
We don’t often get the chance to take time out from our hectic lives to do that all important work on ourselves. But it’s vitally necessary for each and every one of us if we are to live fulfilled lives both at work and at home.
To be able to put everything else in our world aside and to have a full day dedicated to exploring what’s working for us, what’s not, and where we can grow, would usually require a trip to the city. And given the often logistical nightmare that goes along with that, it’s a luxury many of us rarely take. So having this opportunity right here on our doorstep is a game changer for women in this part of the world.
And while having access to top speakers on home soil is a vital ingredient to ITP, the real magic happens out on the floor. It’s in connecting face-to-face with other like-minded women to share and nurture ideas, and to support and cheer one another through the obstacles and opportunities that life in the country throws our way.
So as event partners and co-hosts of ITP, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embracing this homegrown event for regional women.
We look forward to welcoming you back again in 2018.
